Support of the Quechee and Wilder Libraries is essential to our continued excellent service. We ask for donations twice a year – in late Spring through the Friends of the Libraries annual appeal and in early Winter through the Trustees annual appeal – but donations of money, time, or resources are welcome at any point.<\/p>\n
The Friends of the Quechee\/Wilder Libraries are integral to the vitality of our libraries. Friends are the primary source of the volunteers who staff the circulation desk, and also perform many other tasks at the Library.\u00a0 They raise funds and advocate on behalf of the library in various ways throughout the year.<\/p>\n
Through their fundraising, we are able to have resources like the New York Times Cooking, new plush chairs for the library, and support for various capital needs. They maintain a selection of gifts, including notecards, tote bags,\u00a0and coverlets as a fundraising effort. Work by local artists is often featured for gift items.<\/p>\n
Current Steering Committee officers are:\u00a0 Jo Allsopp and Ann DeLoach, co-presidents; Jane Meunier-Powell, vice president-elect; Marsha Autilio, treasurer and Susan Shimko, secretary. All Friends are invited to attend the monthly steering committee meetings, generally held on the second Wednesday of each month at 11:30 a.m. at the Quechee Library.<\/p>\n
Annual Meeting: Thursday, May 29 at 5 pm.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 The public is invited to join for refreshments, a brief annual meeting, and a talk with Tim Brookes of the Endangered Alphabets Project.<\/p>\n
